Phoenix Coyotes successful so far in playoffs

Todd Walsh of Fox Sports Arizona and the Coyotes Radio Network talks about why this season of hockey has been different for the Phoenix Coyotes.Walsh says goaltending has made a huge difference for the Coyotes. Things started out shaky for goalie Mike Smith, but the team stood behind him and they managed to turn things around. Walsh says the goalie is the last line of defense for a team, and the connection Smith has with the team and coach set the tempo. Walsh says even with a growing fan base, the Coyotes are an 'away' team at heart who play defensively and with discipline.
